POWER ELECTRONICS TO SUPPLY 275MW IN HEC V1500 INVESTORS IN MEXICO

This is one of the largest investments in photovoltaic plants in Mexico.

Power Electronics will supply 275 megawatts of the HEC V1500 solar inverter series for two large-scale photovoltaic plants in Mexico, developed by Iberdrola Renovables and where Iberdrola Ingeniería will be the EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction). It is the Hermosillo photovoltaic plant of 136 MWdc- 100 MWac in the state of Sonora, together with the photovoltaic plant Santiago of 231 MWdc-170 MWac in San Luis de Potosí and both are expected to be operational by 2018. Power Electronics therefore breaks into the solar division in Mexico, a market in which the Industrial Division has been the leader in drives for low and medium voltage motors.

With this supply, Power Electronics adds more than 5 gigawatts of installed solar power and approaches 1 gigawatt with its new generation of inverters of 1500 Volts, a unit that differs from its competitors by offering a modular power stage and a redundant control system, combined with other features such as its filterless cooling system make it a unique product, capable of working at 50°C without a reduction in power in the most demanding conditions

With long-term electric auction processes, the Clean Energy Certificates, and the fiscal incentives that exist for the acquisition of generation equipment, the country aims to reach the goal of having 35% of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2024. In this way, Mexico becomes a priority market for Power Electronics, where it already has a long experience in the industrial sector.
